Increased demand for rhino horn in Yemen threatens eastern Africa’s rhinos

View through CrossRef
Conservation organizations have neglected Yemen’s role in the rhino horn trade since early 2003, with no attention given to the problem, although most horns from eastern Africa’s poached rhinos are known to go there. Therefore, in early 2007 we collated data on rhino poaching in eastern Africa, and the first two authors carried out a survey in Yemen to update information on rhino horn smuggling. We learned that demand has risen substantially with the price of rhino horn up by 40% in four years, despite an increase in quantity of horns entering the country. We had meetings with decisionmakers to try to curtail the trade and improve public awareness to reduce demand for rhino horn. Les organisations de conservation ont négligé le rôle que le Yémen tient dans le commerce de corne de rhino depuis le début de 2003 et elles n’accordent pas d’attention à ce problème alors qu’on sait que la plupart des cornes des rhinos braconnés en Afrique de l’Est vont là-bas. C’est pourquoi, début 2007, nous avons rassemblé toutes les données sur le braconnage de rhinos en Afrique de l’Est, et les deux premiers auteurs ont mené une enquête au Yémen pour actualiser les informations sur la contrebande de cornes de rhinos. Nous avons appris que la demande s’était considérablement accrue et que le prix de la corne avait augmenté de 40 % en quatre ans, malgré une augmentation de la quantité de cornes arrivant dans le pays. Nous avons rencontré des décideurs pour tenter de réduire le commerce et de sensibiliser le public afin de diminuer la demande de corne de rhino.
